Tomorrow, March 16th, the official Dev Kit Developer's League continues. To prepare you for the epic battles that will rage on this Sunday, we're publishing the official Dev Kit league rules. Be sure to study them well. You don't want to be sitting there with egg on your face when you try to play a Pink Godzilla card after the Finance Phase instead of waiting until after the Purchase Phase. Even if you're not a Dev Kit pro, be sure to attend as we'll be giving Dev Kit tutorials as well. We might even bust out the beta version of the first Dev Kit expansion....and prizes.

Before the start of the Dev Kit league, it would probably be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the official FAQ or with the update regarding the Sniper and Holiday Rush cards. And be sure to keep a mindful eye out for the Joe Zone.
League Notes:
The League will be broken up into two phases. Phase One is the Dev Kit regular season which will run from March to November. Phase Two is the playoffs. The top twelve performers during the regular season will qualify for Phase Two's Tournament of Champions. Prizes will be awarded to the top designers.
During Phase One, there will be no elimation matches. To be considered for the Tournament of Champions, however, you will need to play in atleast 15 matches. All of your scores will be recorded by Dev Kit officials. Only your best ten rounds, however, count towards your final score. So the more you play, the better your chances for qualifying for the Tournament of Champions.
Here is the formula we will be using to determine your overall score.
(AVG Score + AVG Margin of Victory) x (Winning Percentage) = Point Total
We will publish the results of each official league event here on our blog as well as the overall standings.
In addition to exhibiting to the world your Dev Kit chops, through the course of the year you will have opportunities to test your skills against the likes of the reigning Dev Kit world champion Rick Labadie, game designer Christopher Rao, "Joe Zone" Joe as well as many other Dev Kit mini celebrities.
So be sure to join us at Blue Highway Games. Matches will start shortly after 2:00 pm.
Everyone's Makin' Videogames. Why Not You?
Here are the results of Round 1 of the Dev Kit Developer's league. The point total is the product of your average score plus your average margin of victory/defeat multiplied by your winning percentage. So if you didn't win a game, your score is zero. But don't worry. Only your best 15 games count toward your final score, so there is plenty of time for everyone to rise to the top of the leaderboard. The more you play, the better your chances of qualifying for the tournament of champions in November.
